About Me

italki teacher since Nov 24, 2020

**Dear current students, if you don't find a suitable slot, please send me a message and we'll work it out together!** My name is Giada. I'm a native speaker of Italian and a language teacher with over 13 years of experience. Learning languages and teaching has always been my huge passion. I think enthusiasm and motivation along with competence and determination are the key factors to achieve our goals and to have fun at the same time. I have experience in universities, language academies, school groups of all ages, cultural centres and one-to-one tuitions. I have been living and working in the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland so I am used to a multicultural learning environment.

My lessons & teaching style

Here is what you can expect: in the trial lesson I will assess your level, strengths and weaknesses and we will discuss your interests and your goals as well as your motivation and the time you are willing/able to dedicate to your new language-learning adventure. I will keep monitoring your improvements over time. A feedback after each class will be provided. I believe in the efficacy of a comfortable, encouraging and relaxed atmosphere between the teacher and the learner. I'll provide the support you need and I'll share with you selected materials and tailor-made lessons. We'll work together in each session to develop multiple skills: reading, writing, speaking and listening.
